MOST EASTERN POINT ON NORTH AMERICA!

Had the opportunity to fly to St Johns, Newfoundland, on my last trip.  My crew and I decided to go on a whale watching tour since the whales were supposedly starting to show up.  Although it was quite windy, the boat was steady........but the waves were "rock'in and roll'in" and spotting whale spouts was darn near impossible.................  Soooooo, the boat operator just took us sight seeing instead.  Here is a photo of the eastern most point of land on the continent of North America...........Cape Spear!  It really is wonderful to be able to see such interesting points on our Earth!  Also a shot of a nice small "house" with their OWN waterfall just to th


e right in the photo!  Pretty cool!

BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE

After departing Las Vegas on my last trip, we witnessed an incredible sunrise. I'm always amazed at the variety of "colors" we see during sunrises and sunsets.  I guess having such a clear, unobstructed view helps too. So I'll add this to my list of sights that made me glad I became a pilot.  Just wish I could invite all the passengers up to see what we have the opportunity to see!

CONTINENTAL RETRO B-737!!!!!

Last night as I was waiting for my ride home, I noticed our "retro" painted CONTINENTAL  B-737 parked at my favorite photo op location in Ft. Lauderdale.  Of course I pulled out my trusty camera and started clicking away.......while my girlfriend Maria, sat watching me do this..........at MIDNIGHT.  Needless to say she wasn't a real happy camper, but you have to take the opportunity when it presents itself........LOL.   I think this is one of my favorite shots now.

ILLUMINATED THUNDERSTORMS DURING SUNSET OVER THE ATLANTIC

During a recent flight from Miami, FL, to Newark, NJ, I captured this stunning shot of the sunset illuminating some building thunderstorms. The orange was spectacular.  Even though the photo doesn't do it much justice, it was truly a sight to behold. The entire flight was filled with photographic moments. This one happened to be one of the better ones.  Oh....and the little frog turned out to be a "froglet" which will grow to about 1/2 inch long, and is more commonly known as a greenhouse frog.  RATS!!!!!

A TINY FROG!!!

As I was cleaning our pool this morning, I noticed a little frog swimming around and seemingly having a great time.  I scooped  him up, got my camera and took a couple of photos.  I have NEVER seen such a small frog.  When I say small, I mean SMALL!  Here's two photos of the little guy.  One by himself, and one next to my thumb.  Did I say this frog was small??????  :-)
